Study art history whilst discovering how art has been collected, curated and displayed in the past and in the present. Find out about the history of art, its makers and its meanings, while exploring art’s role in public museums and private collections. You will also study key topics for those interested in a career within museums, galleries or the heritage sector. You will examine art’s interface with the public, exploring the history of museums, the implications of different kinds of display, and the varied practices of those working in such institutions, as curators, conservators and educators.
You will explore what it means to think of objects as having biographies; considering the strange and varied ‘lives of objects’ as they move through different contexts. You will also question how the discipline of art history may interact with other approaches to material culture used by anthropologists and archaeologists, as well as considering how your historical studies relate to contemporary debates about the status of art and the role of galleries and museums in the present.
